Stupid question..

Why does Wussell Westbrook want to be traded..

Frfr.. :ohhh:


Harden is is "Manz n em' and its not like the Bullets have a better roster.. I can honestly say I am not his biggest fan.. which is probably why I didn't know he had roots in DC . :hubie:

But if that was the case.. why not request to be traded there in the first place :mjgrin:

And they really tried to pimp it like.. "Ooooh shiiiiit we got :youngsabo:"
And 1 year later he wants out?:heh:

U a cool poster normally so I’ll be willing to but just don’t be hopping in convos without readin em

they was sayin the Wizards shouldn’t have given up a pick for Westbrook, bro replied “When was the last time the Wizards had an All-NBA player” and that’s what I said; convo was never about who’s better right now
it's all good

it threw me off when you said "westbrook isn't better than wall"

40pt games in a lose? Curry was out there murdering wall every trip

get 51 dropped on you brehs


Why are you saying it like Steph is isoing Wall every possesion? The best shooter dropped 51 and Wall hooped too, it happens I’ve seen Steph cook every PG in the league so I don’t really understand the point you’re making

I dunno how to feel about this :francis:


Fwiw wall and harden been playing against each other this off-season and wall will be healthy I think.
Russell had a seemingly down year and yet he had 27 7 and 7. And before that he was averaging triple doubles.

We'll see I guess. But now we got two certain all nba guys and now have to just think about the rest of the squad. Robin lopez box outs gonna get Russ his ten rebounds per game.

Found this on REALGM Wiz board @mastermind @Spree At Last @Black @Blackrogue @JACK! @KillbertArenas

Hey Fellas, BobbyD here (used to be dandridge10). Haven't posted in a long time, but still lurk here every now and then. Hope everyone is doing well.

Regarding Wall, while I am not happy we gave up a draft pick to get Westbrook, I am comforted a bit that it is pretty heavily protected starting in 2023. I could understand why Tommy made the trade as Westbrook, although a bit older, is more durable, is the better player (although both have similar issues), is not coming off a major injury, and could be more valuable as a trade chip later down the road. I also could understand the thinking that Westbrook might mesh better with Beal and our team. Not only is he a better rebounder, which is needed for a team deficient in that area, but he plays much better off the ball than Wall. While Beal is primarily a scorer, Beal showed last year that he can handle the ball and be a playmaker. When handling the ball, he will have one more player he can dish to (Wall always stood and just watched when he didn't have the ball). I also like Westbrooks competitive spirit, which could be infectious to the younger players. I don't particularly like Westbrooks me first style of play, but I'm willing to at least give it a shot and see how he gels with this team before I criticize the trade.

I think most of the people that are pissed about the trade are reacting emotionally because we drafted Wall and he has been with us for so long. Maybe it is easier for me to accept the trade because I have never really been that big of a fan of Wall, primarily because of his porous defense, unwillingness to move without the ball, and his lack of leadership. As I mentioned before, I also have a friend in the Wizards organization (player personnel not in management) that has told me things about Wall that I believe are true...mostly about poor work ethic and partying. I know some people have questioned my source, but it is a solid one. Ironically, my friend did tell me that John was in very good shape this year, FWIW.

Regarding Tommy saying that Wall wasn't going to traded, I don't have an issue. Maybe things changed between the time he said it and now. Or maybe he just didn't want to say he wanted to trade Wall because he didn't want Houston to believe he was desperate. It could have been a factor on why Houston settled for a heavily protected pick, as opposed to demanding a pick without protections. I really don't care. It is a business and teams send out false information all the time to get an edge.

One interesting thing is that my friend texted Wall after the trade and he said Wall replied with a bunch of expletives, which seems to conflict with the reports that he wanted out. Or maybe he just didn't want to go to Houston. I don't know.

Bottom line for me is that this trade gives me a reason to watch the Wizards again, even if it is just temporary to see how things work out. That is worth something
